Did you jump it directly from a car or did you use a booster designed for a car or truck? Some car and truck boosters can be too powerful for a bike electrical system as cars need a much higher Amp rating to turn over a bigger, heavier engine. Take it to an Auto-Electrician or bike specialist to check the other parts in the electrical system. You might have damaged either the battery or another part when you 'jumped' the bike.
I think that your CDI needs replacing. It is sometimes possible to dig a bit of epoxy out and solder the wire back. If this works, seal the area with silicone after.
Hello Jason
To begin with, ..Why did you change the CDI and rectifier? Were you having charging problems?? The rectifier simply changes A/C current into D/C current run the electrical system/charge the battery! The CDI manages the spark for the spark plug. The CDI and rectifier are for TWO different electrical system. (Engine running - and - battery charging/lights/turn signals, etc.)
Please tell me what was wrong and everything you did and WHY.
Please reply thru fixya and I will get back to you!
squirt some starting fluid in the air box ...if it fires and attempts to run , clean the carb jets are clogged
common problem when fuel is left in carb when storing
Finding Repair Manuals Online
Many of our patrons are interested in saving money by repairing their cars themselves. They know from experience that repair manuals and diagrams can make their work a lot easier. When their local library doesn't have the manual they need, they decide to see if they can save a little more money by finding a free copy of the manual or diagram on the Internet.
Unfortunately, these materials are almost NEVER available on the Internet for free! The reason for this is that the people who publish the manuals and own the copyright aren't about to give the material away free--they want to get paid for their work!! Also, many of the manuals are so large, it would be very costly to place them online and store all the Web pages or provide access to them from a database.
The Internet, though, has a large number of web sites where you can buy service manuals and schematics from bookstores, publishers, and other collectors. Here is just a sampling of what sites are out there:
Chilton Repair Manuals
http://www.chilton.cengage.com/
Factory Auto manuals
http://www.factoryautomanuals.com/)
Haynes Publishing
http://www.haynes.com/
AutoLit.com
http://www.autolit.com/home.htm
RepairManual.com
http://www.repairmanual.com/
You may also want to check out Yahoo's category for Automotive Booksellers, or more general on-line bookstores such as Amazon.com.
Don't forget that public libraries are also great places to find such manuals -- many libraries have them in print or on cd-roms. They may also be able to get the manual or diagram you need from
another library if you use their Inter library Loan Service. Not every library offers this service, but it never hurts to ask if they do!
Finally, there are many web sites out there where you can at least ask an automobile expert for advice. AutoGuide.net's Automotive Advice category is a good starting point for finding these
services.
It sounds like a carb problem. Remove it, desassemble it, clean it, make sure the brass jet are well fixed and that everything is in place... Nothing to do with the timing chain usually...
